. LEGIBLE HIGHWAY SIGNS
Oune thing which may lead t
automobile aceidents is the lack o
good highway signs at intersections
of streets. Motorists not famila
with the . locality come to street
corners with their eyes principally
on the look-out for guide boards.
If there are no such signg, on they
are old and dirty or ircongpicuotis
or buried in a groug of advertising
notices, tne driver may give his
attention so closely to looking after
these directions that he fails to
observe the traflic and pedestrians
Automobite people feel thankful
when they come to a town where
there are big direction signs posted
in a conspicuens way so they are
easily read. It gives an impression
that such a place is wide awake and
looking after the public comfort.
KEEPING DOWN PRICES
A textile manufacturer was quoted
in trade news recently, in a com
plaint because retail merchants and
their buyers make so much effort
to keep the prices of goods down.
He felt that the average consumer
is willing to pay the price for novel
goods, and that merchants should
encourage the distribution of new
and original styles even if they do
cost a little more.
He complained that asa result of
thie economical spirit of the store
buyers, manufacturers are com
pelled to stick ty standard goods on
which there is the sharpest compet
ition and the least profit.
The average consumer. however,
will be mighty thankful to the store
buyers and retail merchants for the
efforts they are making to keep
prices down., He will feel that the
manufacturers shouid stick to the
standard lines of goods which can
be produced for the least money.
Business may be temporarily
by inducing the public to buy costly
novelties. This is frequently done
by producers of clothing and foot
wear for women, who sometimes
feel that they must buy articles that
they do not really need in order to
keep up with some prevailing fad.
But constant changes in articles of
personal wear and heuse furnishing
must add largely to the cost of sveh
products.
If people spend their money on
novelties and style changes, they
won’t have to spend it on necessi
ties or will not be able to save it
and put it into banks.
This will m an that producers
running on staple Jlines will have
to shut down as the result of the
lack of ability to buy their goods
or lack of capital to finance their
operations,
The wore prolucers stick (o
standard lines and the less they go
in for costly novelties, the better
off the country will be. The retail
trade interests are entitled to credit
for their effort to keep production
running on staple and cflicient lines
at moderate prices.

Angera Stronghold on Frontiers
of Roman Empire.
)
WAS CCCUPIED BY CRUSADERS
Angora Is pleturgsque directly you
get outside it, for only then can you
see the (wo Gibraltar-like rocks that
forin the background to the present
day town. They lie end to end, sep
arated by a stecp ravine through
which rushes a narrow, muddy stream.
The hill on the further side of this
river is bare, except for a crumbling
pile of stones which passes for the
ruins of a 4 memorial to the legend that
Tumerlune stood there In 1402 to re
view his army of Mongols after it
had overthrown Sultan Bayazid in the
plain below. But the rocky height
that looms above Angora town is
crowined with an unbroken wall of
medieval fortifications.
Its bastions are of red sandstone,
and shaped to a sharp point, like the
bews of 1 ship. The unconscious van
dalism of the Middle ages is witnessed
in !ts structure, for among the huge
Mreestone blocks that form it are built
in all sorts of relics of the dead and
gone Angoras of the past. Here is &
delicately fretted cornice from an old
Greek temple, Close by the fragment
of some majestic Roman inscription,
clear cut as the day it was first carved,
recalls the time when Angora was a
stronghold of the frontiers of the
Roman empire. Gravestones and brok
en bits of friezes, millstones and Rom
an titles have all gone to strengthen
the still unbroken wall.
Oddly Foreign Look.
Lower down the hill stand the gray
ruins of a castle of feudal type. Per
haps Godefroy de Bouillon built it
when the Crusaders held Angora for
twenty years. It has an oddly for
eign look here in the heart of Asia
Minor. Its crumbling battlements
would harmonize much better with a
hackground of green English meadow
land or Norman orchards.
But apart from this hill citadel Ane
gora has no characteristics that it
does not share with every other of .the
drab village towns of Anatolia. Yet,
half hidden behind its largest mosque
is a splendid relic of what must have
been an Angora out of all comparison,
more beautiful and stately. It is the
ruined fragment of a Roman temple of
Augustus, just a square decorated
archway 30 feet high, leading to a
chancel, in which a flight of steps
woes down to a vaultéed dungeon be
neath where the altar must have
stood, entered by a doorway only two
feet high. The walls of this monu
ment to a race that was not only con
quering, but constructive, are of free
stone with several courses of sand
stone of a Dbrilliant crimson. They
still- bear broken patches of frieze of
Greek wave design, and in another
place, of a conventional pattern rep
resenting apparently an octopus.
Much of this old Roman maschry
that still stands so firmly is inscribed
with half effaced histories of the cam
paigns of the “Divine Augustus”
carved, as the Latin script says, by
nis own order. But there are also
many marks of its .eventful history
since those times.
Made by Crusader?
lere is a Maltese cross hammered
out with the chisel. Did some idle
crusater, perhaps from far away Eng
land, fill in his afternoon by making
it? Close by an industrious Turk has
chipped a long phrase in the difficult
caligraphy of his language, and oppo
site a modern Greek, in an impulse of
bravado, has scratched his name with
the date 1914-1922,
Tombstones of old Roman prefects
lie prone on the ground and close by
them stand the turbaned headstones of
the graves of Turkish janissaries who
died here in the Sixteenth and Seven
teenth centuries.
The idea of rebuilding some such
imposing city as the Romans set upon
this open and lofty plateau is strong
in the minds of the new Turkish gov
ernment. They plan itMn the plain
outside the present town and say that
its avenues will be broader than the
Champs Elysees. The scheme, in its
nresent form, reminds one rather of
the layout of the city of Eden, where
Martin Whitehall of Angora is the
railway station, for there the Premier
lives in what was meant for the sta
tionmaster's house, while the French
representative has a similar building
on the platform and the American
emissary to the Angora government
with his wife occupies a railway coach
fitted up inside as the most delight
fully compact bungalow imaginable.
31 GOLF BALLS IN A NEST
Squirrel Which Gathered Them Must
Have Imagined Them Nuts.
On the ground of the Augusta Coun
try club at Manchester, Me., recently
was found a squirel’s nest. In his
nest a squirrel had concealed 31 golf
balls. The place near the nest is ons
of the most difficult drives of the
course and sometimes the golf balls
are knocked into the woods and are
lost. The nest was found by rare
chance.
Evidently during the summer
months the squirrel thought a new
crop of nuts was invented and watched |
the balls speed through the air into
the woods. After things had quieted |
down he began his work of collecting.
Many of the balls were in good condi
tion, while some bore the teeth marks
of the hoarder. -

BY STATE BOARD
e \
Stagnant Water Should Ee¢
Drained Away, or Else Oil {
Placed Thereon to Prevent ‘
Mosquitoes Hatching. \
Dr. M. A. Fort, Director of Malaria
Control of the State Board of Health
says in an interview:
There is a rapidly growing gentl
ment for fighting mosquitoes in thig
state. Most towns are beginning @
fight, Some of theme are doing good
work, others are_ doing only make
shift work.
Mosquitoes make thelr nests on
water., The babies that hatchfrom the
eggs are wiggletails. These change
into pupae, or “tumblers,” and these
soon hatch out mosquitoes. These are
pest fought when they are babies, liv:
ing in the water. Break up the nests.
This means drainage. If there is no
gstanding water there can be no mos:
quito breeding. A complete drainage
program for a town pays for itself
many times over in improved healih
conditions, reclaimed land and improv
ed property values, Succeeding years
there is only the drains to be kept
clean, and some . oiling.
Many mosquitoes do not make their
nests in the ditches and ponds, but in
our own back yards, in barrels, tubs,
watering troughs, tin cans,’and numer
ous other places. No town will clean
up the mosquitoes unless it: combines
with the fight on the water in public
ditches, a fight also on water on pri
vate premises. And the best of us will
forget or neglect breeding, places unless
there is an inspector to come around
and locate them for us, and help us to
dispose of them. it i
A very rapid and efficient way of
applying a film of oil on water is by
soaking sawdust with oil, and sprink
ling a little of this on all ‘breeding
places. This is often a cheap:plan, as
any waste oil can be used, even if it
is too dirty for any other purpose. !
Often waste oil from garages and oth
er mechanical plants can be;getten for
nothing, and used with gregtib_eneflt. i
Some day I hope to see all towns
put on a complete drainage program,
but until finances are available for
that purpose, all should at:least fight
the mosquitoes as well as they can.
1f I am asked for an outline of a plan
I would suggest the following:
1. Employ a full time sanitary man
to work under the Health Officer.
9. Let this man apply oil to all out
side breeding places once every week.
This may be done with a spraying ap
paratus, or with sawdust, as suggested
above. %
3. The remaining time, let this man
visit all homeés, and help us find un
suspeeted breeding places and help us
to get rid of them. This man had
best be an intelligent white: man. He
would need a few days’ instruction,
which might be secured from the State
Board of Health or local Health Ofti
cer, i
With a plan like this, mosquitoes
and malaria would be greatly reduced
the first year. B
I could name towns for you where
great factories have been located, land
values and population greatly increas
ed, and prosperity hastened by simply
making an. active fight on -the mos
quito.

CLINIC-INSTITUTE
» FOR PHYSICIANS
Emory University Medical Depart
ment is doing one of the finest pieces
of work ever put on for the betterment
of medicine and surgery in our state.
This is the third year of what is called
an “Justitute-Clinic Week.” The Col
lege in conjunction with the State
Board of Health has arranged a week
of intensive post-graduate work for the
physicians of Georgia and the South
east. Lectures are given, about four
each day, and clinics at all the hos
pitals have been arranged, beginning
at 8 a. m. and running throughout the,
day by the leading surgeons and medi
cal men of Atlanta. Bedside study of
cases and post mortems are made.
The 4th of June will be the opening
day, which will be held at Emory Uni
versity; inspection of the completed
Wesley Memorial Hospital, with lunch
eon served at noon. The sth, 6th and
7th there will be lectures and clinics
the whole day through. Thursday
night Fulton County Medical Society
will keep open house, and Friday night
the Alumni of Emory Unlversity will
hold its annual session, dinner being
served at the Capital City Club. Dr.
Joe P. Bowdoin is president of the
Alumni Association and Dr. J. W. Rob
eris, of Atlanta, is its secretary.
Reduced railroad rates have been
granted for the occasion on the certifi
cate plan. All who attend should get
a certificate from the agent who sells
them the ticket, paying full fare, and
the reduction will be granted on the
return. This 1s a great opportunity for
the doctors of our State and indirectly
to our people as a whole. |
A meeting of all the Health Offi
cers of our State has been called by
Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, lasting for two
days, at the office of the State Board
of Health, 131 Capitol Square, Atlanta,
Ga., June 7th and Bth. This two-day
conference will be a get-together meet
ing to devise and plan for the preven
tion of disease, especially those dis
eases of the summer and fall. Every
one interested in public health is most
cordially invited.

SIMPLIFIED REMEDY
FOR SYPHILIS.
Any Physician Can Use It.
Syphilis, the greatest killing disease,
and one of the most prevalent of all
the infectious and communicable dis
eages, has in the past been looked
upon as incurable; or at least three
years has been the accepted time nec
esgary for treatment. The discovery
of 606 some years ago has changed
this picture, and now comes the an
nouncement of Prof. Carl Voegtlin, of
the U. 8. Hygiene Laboratory, Wash:
ington,.giving us an improved 606 that
so. simplifies the treatment that i
amounts almost to a revolution.
The old 606 had to be given in a
vein. in a large quantity of water
The method of preparing and admin
istering it was complex, and an ex
pert, a specialist, was a necessity. The
new remedy is given with a hypodermic
syringe, under the skin, in only a few
drops of water. It has passed the
laboratory stage, and is now on trial
for its practical use. :
The physician can obtain the new
drug from the different manufacturers
of Arsphenamine., The State Board
of Health can furnish literature to the
physician about it.
